In this message from 1 Kings 19, Pastor Jason continues the series on Elijah and Elisha with “Go Back, Get Close, Get Going” showing how even a powerful prophet like Elijah can fall into fear, isolation, and discouragement.
Fleeing from Jezebel’s threat, Elijah experiences exhaustion and despair, yet God meets him with rest, provision, and ultimately a gentle whisper that draws him back into relationship. The sermon highlights how God is often found not in dramatic moments, but in quiet closeness that restores identity, renews truth, and calls us forward.
Elijah is reminded he is not alone and is sent back into purpose, even raising up Elisha as the next prophet. Are you close enough to hear God’s whisper—and if not, what might be keeping you from stepping back, drawing near, and moving forward in faith?
In today’s sermon, Pastor Doug explored 1 Kings 18 under the theme “Sacrifice Comes Before Rain”. He emphasized the importance of sacrificial living, highlighting Elijah’s bold confrontation with the false prophets and his call for Israel to choose between idols and the true God. Key sermon points included Elijah’s spiritual initiative, his challenge to the people’s wavering faith, and the ultimate power of sacrifice in bringing about God’s provision.
Pastor Doug challenged us to reflect on how we spend our most valuable resource—TIME—and to prioritize it in our relationship with God. Will you sacrifice the distractions in your life to experience the rain of God’s blessings? Watch the full video to dive deeper into this powerful message.
Pastor Craig launched the series “When God Still Moves” in 1 Kings 17:1–24, showing how the stories of Elijah mirror the challenges and spiritual pressures we face today. He highlighted how Israel and Judah were influenced by surrounding cultures and false gods, reminding us of the importance of keeping God’s presence central in our lives. Through Elijah’s obedience, God’s unexpected provision for the widow, and the healing of her son, we see that God still works powerfully when we trust and follow Him—even in uncertainty.
The message also addressed the reality of unanswered prayers, encouraging believers to remain faithful and hold onto Jesus through every circumstance. What idols or distractions might be pulling you away from God—and are you willing to trust Him fully, even when you don’t understand His plan?
Centered on the Gospel of Luke, Pastor Craig’s Easter message, “Approaching Dawn,” explores the resurrection of Jesus as the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan that began in the book of Genesis. Tracing the story from creation to the cross, he highlights how sin introduced patterns of shame, hiding, and blame, but through Jesus’ sacrifice and resurrection, those cycles are broken and replaced with forgiveness and freedom.
The sermon emphasizes that every detail—from the tree in Eden to the cross—reveals God’s intentional love and His desire to restore humanity. Listeners are invited to move beyond guilt and into a life of surrender, healing, and obedience through Christ. Will you continue living in old patterns, or step into the new life Jesus offers through His resurrection?
